The Ranse Classic is an annual charity tournament to celebrate the life of our fellow volleyball player and Fire Fighter Ransford Jones. Ranse was taken from this world on November 8th, 2010. In April of 2010, our amazing friend Ranse Jones experienced the unimaginable, suffering a brain aneurysm during the semi final of the Panama City AVP Young Guns tournament. In the 6 months after, Ranse was on and off life support, placed in a medically induced coma, suffered swelling of his brain, and battled an array of complicated infections. His passing happened the day after the first annual Ranse Classic 2010 which was held November 5th-7th. We ask that if you love the beach, if you're passionate about volleyball, and most importantly, if Ranse Jones in someway positively affected your life the way he affected most everyone he met, to please attend, participate, volunteer, compete, or donate for this amazing cause.
